Looks like the chute has deployed good. Upper stage water impact.

All in all, looks like a good launch. Well done NASA

marking the first time a new vehicle has launched from the complex since the first space shuttle launch in 1981.

Got called away so I had to watch the re-run. Looked like a great flight!
